Year 5: 2023-2024 (Summer Term)
☀️It’s our Earth and Space topic in science. We marked the summer solstice by learning about why the number of daylight hours changes, and how we get day and night. We observed that shadows change position and length because the Earth is rotating. @FallaParkSchool @Mrs_Crellin pic.twitter.com/ntt50gqR1g

We have learning about budgeting during My Money Week. What can we do if we don’t have enough, and what should we do if we have extra money? Some interesting ideas about shopping for the best deals, and starting emergency-savings accounts. @MissDoyle_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/X9oO30tqtc

Y5 absolutely loved getting outside to observe their surroundings, in art. We finished the unit with a mini art gallery, and everyone collected some very mature and useful feedback. @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/HXmc1Nh7e7

The rain didn’t stop our adventures at Longwitton farm! We learned about the machinery and vehicles, and all the crops and animals. We even had the chance to turn wheat into flour! @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/uTzQuzsagM

In PE, we are becoming experts at orienteering. We can orientate a map and follow a route. Y5 got very competitive about who would be the first group to complete the course around school! @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @MrSmith_falla pic.twitter.com/1SrugzTmF8

We are really enjoying our landscapes work in art! We practised mixing different media: ink and watercolour, charcoal and water, or oil pastel and pen. @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/g7IfAMBEKN

Some of our children from Year 5 and 6 had a fantastic day with @GatesheadSSP on their Showing Potential Day. We loved each of our workshops and took away the key message of believing in ourselves no matter the challenge!@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/Yy9JGiDuLR

I think we have some future Bake-Off winners in Y5. We rounded off our DT topic on seasonality by practising our dough-making skills to make raspberry shortbread. Decorating them was lots of fun, but eating them was better😁 @FallaParkSchool @Mrs_Crellin pic.twitter.com/zWWvmxwDYM
